The world had a chance to defeat the dictatorship, which creates global danger, believes the head of the Ministry of Defense.
Russia has suffered two strategic defeats since the outbreak of a comprehensive war against Ukraine – on the battlefield and at the diplomatic level. Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov wrote this on Facebook on Friday, May 12th.
“After Russia’s open full-scale attack on February 24, it was planned in Moscow, and many in the West have the same opinion, that Ukraine will surrender in a few days. The Kremlin hopes to establish a new “Russian” law on our land in a few weeks. Our defenders and the defenders, the entire Ukrainian people, rejected the occupiers and thwarted these plans, “Reznikov wrote.

According to him, a conditional period began “until May 9”, when Russian troops suffered huge losses, were defeated near Kyiv and did not achieve a single strategic goal, changed tactics.
“They fled from the Zhytomyr region, Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, Sumy region and set new goals for themselves – the capture of the south and east of Ukraine. But it never happened again. Thanks to the massive heroism of our soldiers, the unity of Ukrainians, international support, Ukraine has survived, “Reznikov emphasized.
As a result, on May 9, Russia received a strategic defeat – it was unable to destroy the Ukrainian state through military intervention and change of power with Russian puppets.
“We forced him to reduce the size of targets to the operational -tactical level. Against this background, we are entering a new – long -term phase of the war. To win it, we need to carefully plan resources, avoid mistakes, design our strength so that the opponent, ultimately, cannot cope, ”Reznikov explains.
He mentioned that there has also been a tectonic shift in the international arena. So, in a month, Ukraine has gone through a path of integration in the field of defense, which it has not been able to overcome for 30 years.
“We are already receiving heavy weapons from our partners. In particular, American 155 mm M777 howitzers are already working on the front. Three months ago, it was considered impossible. At the end of March, a large donor the conference was convened, which became an important step in building a common position of European partners and secure integration with Ukraine de facto, “said the head of the Defense Ministry.
Reznikov stressed that a major change took place, which was brought together on April 26 at a historic meeting of the heads of defense departments of more than 40 countries in the world at the American Ramstein base in Germany.
“Also, so far, the United States has enacted legislation in the format of lend-lease assistance, which during World War II helped defeat Hitler. US President Joe Biden was symbolically signed on May 9. Another law the controversy to increase support for Ukraine, ” – drew the attention of Reznikov.
The minister added that political decisions are being made in various states, as well as at the EU level, which will increase support for Ukraine not only militarily, but also in economic, social and humanitarian terms. .
Thus, in addition to the strategic defeat of the Russian Federation on the battlefield, a strategic defeat was added at the international level.
“If we remember that the civilized world is intensifying economic sanctions, and Finland and Sweden are preparing to apply for NATO membership, then the international context for the Kremlin is systematically deteriorating. The world has a chance to defeat the dictatorship that creates a global danger, ”summed up the head of the Defense Ministry.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin could no longer survive in the face, but he should think about how to save his country.
